My First Web Application -- Please Review

This site has been a developing idea for the last 2 years. It is built around the idea of creating new experiences you would like to explore and facilitating the process. I'd like to see some people get some use out of it.

I really like your design. It's clear, and the way you put the backgrounds is just unique. Beside the look, maybe you need a logo. When you view someone's profile, I see there is a form to submit comments. But there is no return bottom. I have to use the browser to go back. Same think with viewing pictures. For example http://acressity.com/photologue/photo/101/ here it's all good, but one you click on picture the browser displays it.

Great job

Thank you for your input. You pointed out an error I had in my logic wherein a non-logged in user can leave notes to those who are registered---whoops! I'm going to fix this within the next 3 minutes...until then this is quite a security vulnerability!

At the first moment I stumbled upon "exploration and expression of new experiences" - it looks like since my English is quite poor, I did not catch the meaning at once.

If I understand correctly, you are proposing a kind of blog-platform, but with some changes to ideology: user should relate his stories not as one endless post, but rather as a set of "journeys" - each story is a journey.

I think it is a good idea (If I understand correctly, again), however, perhaps you will find it important to "socialize" the platform in several ways:
- adding votes (likes?);
- adding comments (questions?);
- adding user linking (friends).

(BTW, with votes or likes you will be able to perform a kind of PR for your website in future, proposing some journey contest with some money as a prize)

Design looks great, to me. I think I never could create something like this. However, there are few minor issues, like the following:
- main menu has black letters on the dark-blue background - not great contrast;
- http://acressity.com/experiences/1/ - text contrast here over text in background picture is not really nice too - though I think it is accidentally.

Do you think it would be possible to split long articles in chapters, so that journey starts with contents of this journey?
